Much as we love that old travelers maxim1—take only memories, leave only footprints—the first half goes out the window as soon as you land in South Africa.

雖然我们很喜欢那句古老的旅行家格言——“除了你的记忆,什么都别带走;除了你的脚印,什么都别留下”。但是一到南非,上半句格言便会被你抛诸脑后。

Not that were saying youll need a whole extra suitcase for your spoils2. Many of them—arguably the best, in fact—will be souvenirs of the experiential kind. But make no mistake: In a land of exquisite3 wine regions, craft markets and galleries, youll still want some extra room in your luggage—in addition to the extra room on your memory cards.

我们不是说你需要一个额外的行李箱来装“战利品”。其中许多——事实上也可以说是最好的——会是体验式的旅游纪念品。但不要搞错了:在一个拥有精致葡萄酒产区、工艺品市场和无数画廊的国度,你的行李中仍然要留出一些额外空间——除了存储卡上的额外空间之外。

Here, the things youll almost certainly return with:

在这里,你几乎肯定会带着这几样东西回家:

Enough wildlife shots to wallpaper your entire home

有足够的野生动物照片来装饰整个家

Even if youre just shooting with a smartphone, wildlife is so abundant4 in South Africa—and thats before you get out of the urban areas—you cant help but come home with a Nat Geo-worthy collection of snaps. Think baboons on the street, penguins on the beach—even the occasional Cape Mountain zebra (if youre lucky). To say nothing of the images you take once youre actually on a game drive in a safari5 vehicle.

即使你只是用智能手机拍照,南非的野生动物资源是如此丰富——在你离开市区之前——你会情不自禁地带着一系列有着自然地理价值、值得收藏的照片回家。想想街上的狒狒,沙滩上的企鹅,甚至偶尔遇到的角山斑马(如果你有幸遇到的话)。更不用说你在狩猎车上寻觅野生动物身影时拍下的照片了。

So many additions to your bar, youll have to throw more parties.

你的吧台增加了这么多东西,得多开几次派对。

You could make an entire trip out of the countrys centuries-old Winelands. And as youre tasting your way through the various vineyards6 and wineries, youll surely find favorites—from Pinotage to sparkling7 Methode Cap Classique—that youll want to take or ship home.

你可以从这个国家里有着几个世纪历史的酒乡出发,进行一次完整的旅行。当你品尝各种葡萄园和酿酒厂的葡萄酒时,一定会发现最喜欢的葡萄酒,从皮诺塔吉葡萄酒到墨斯德开普敦经典起泡酒,你都想带回家或装运回家。

Happily sore muscles

幸福的肌肉酸痛

Here are a lot of hiking ops, from a day trip up Cape Towns Table Mountain—where youll be rewarded with views of the famed 12 Apostles and V&A Waterfront, among other things—to multi-day adventures.

这里有很多徒步旅行项目,从开普敦桌山一日游到多日游,在那里你可以欣赏到著名的“十二门徒山”和渔人码头的美景,以及其他东西。

If you prefer a proper hike, consider the 19-mile Golden Gate Highlands Rhebok Hiking Trail on the Lesotho Border, a two-day hike past sandstone cliffs, streams, ravines and waterfalls, with wide view of Lesotho and the Orange Free State.

如果你更喜欢来一次真正的徒步旅行,可以考虑莱索托边境上19英里长的金门高地莱博克徒步旅行路线。这是一次为期两天的徒步旅行,途经砂岩悬崖、溪流、峡谷和瀑布,将莱索托和奥兰治自由邦的全景尽收眼底。

Crafts of all kinds

各种工艺品

Johannesburg is an artisan-lovers dream. Start at the Market Shed at 1 Fox, where youll find the likes of the Treasures—Zulu beaded8 necklaces, chunky bracelets and bangles.

約翰内斯堡是一个手工艺爱好者的梦想之地。从1号福克斯街的市场棚屋出发,在那里你会发现心爱的宝藏——祖鲁串珠项链、粗手镯和脚镯。

Another cant miss-stop is Makotis, which offers an array9 of traditional fabrics and dresses, as well as ready-made shirts.

另一个不容错过的站点是马克蒂斯,它提供了一系列传统的面料和服装,以及现成的衬衫。

Then theres Keyes Art Mile, Johannesburgs chicest10 art and design place—a mix of galleries, restaurants and shops.

接下来是凯斯艺术英里,是约翰内斯堡最别致的艺术和设计场所——集画廊、餐馆和商铺于一身。

Musical memories

音乐记忆

From the vuvuzelas to the Zulu isicathamiya singing to the harmonic11 mbaqanga, South African music can be hauntingly12 beautiful. The South African music scene includes both popular and folk forms. South Africa also supports a music industry.

从呜呜祖拉(南非长管小喇叭)到祖鲁伊西卡塔米亚歌唱,再到悦耳的巴甘加流行音乐形式,南非的音乐可以说是有着令人难以忘怀的迷人魅力。南非的音乐包括流行音乐和民间音乐。南非也很支持音乐工业的发展。
